Une ligue de baseball amateur composée de joueurs âgés de 80 ans et plus a été créée à Aomori, au Japon. Trois équipes sont attendues. Le président de la ligue, âgé de 89 ans, a déclaré : « Je suis lanceur depuis l’âge de 15 ans. Je peux lancer cinq types de balles cassantes, y compris les sliders et les balles rapides à deux coutures. »

Ojiisans still got it, uheee~~.
I know Japan has an aging population problem but I didn’t know it was this bad
This is honestly pretty cool. Gotta appreciate how much Japan loves baseball.
The senior citizens team has more passion than the USA WBC team lol
Athletic trainer better get paid well
Some may joke or make a novelty of it but participation in recreational sports in masters/senior age categories is extremely beneficial and should be much more normalized / encouraged than it is currently
It should just be the norm that people of all age continue to play sports their entire lives in the same way we encourage kids to play sports for fun, fitness, and social wellbeing and development
So yeah this kicks ass
